Image Indexing using Spatial Multi-Resolution Color Correlogram

Color correlograms are efficiently used for image indexing in content-based image retrieval. Color correlogram extracts not only the color distribution of pixels in images like color histogram, but also extracts the spatial information of pixels in the images. The characteristic of the color correlogram to take into account the spatial information as well as the distribution of color pixels greatly attracts the researcher for content based image retrieval. Even though, a single correlogram is not enough for efficient and robust image retrieval system. In this paper, we propose the use of color correlogram on multiresolution images. The multiresolution color correlogram gives much better retrieval efficiency, but with higher computations. The multiresolution images are generated using the median filters.
